Good read on the subject: [Keep Color Choices Fluid | The Truth About Cars](http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/08/keep-color-choices-fluid/) > …It turns out that brake fluid is the only automotive fluid whose color is explicitly regulated, at least on a federal level. A long search through the NHTSA’s standards didn’t turn up any evidence that antifreeze, automatic transmission fluid, oil, windshield washer spray, power steering fluid, or any other kind of liquid is explicitly regulated by color. ---

Confirmed. Their Type-200 is the same thing and falls into the amber color so that should be fine. I’m pretty sure the only reason for it was to make it easier to flush old fluid but for some reason no-one knows about the 200 and everyone always runs blue. If ATE is smart they’ll come out with a clear one (if possible) to make it a bit easier to bleed. I actually just switched to RBF660 since it’s got even better specs. ---

Been doing the ATE type 200 to ATE blue switch for years. Made fluid changes so easy to tell when you were done flushing the system. Seems like such a stupid thing to regulate. ---
